Answer:
x = 3 ± √5
Step-by-step explanation:
The expression (x - 3)² = 5 doesn't need completing the square to solve (this is the step after you finish completing the square):
Step 1: Square root both sides
x - 3 = ±√5
Step 2: Add 3 to both sides
x = 3 ± √5 = 0.76392, 5.23607
Answer:
they are tied at 45
Step-by-step explanation:
no they would still be tied
Expanded form is like this 300 plus 20 plus 7 plus .40 plus .6
Assuming this is a system of equations, here is how to find x.
2x + 3y = 45
x + y = 10
Multiply x + y = 10 by 2 so you are able to use the elimination method.
2x + 3y = 45
2x + 2y = 20
Subtract.
y = 25
Now that we've found y, we can plug it in to find x.
x + 25 = 10
Subtract 25 from both sides.
x = -15
